The author is an extreme left-wing anti-Semite? I just posted an article.

Charles Gave: "France Is On The Brink of A Secondary Depression" Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/09/2013 - 11:01 France is engulfed by a political, economic and moral paralysis. The president has record low popularity, unemployment is making new highs and the tax czar of a supposedly left wing government just quit after repeatedly lying about a pile of cash he had stashed in a Swiss bank account. From such a sorry state of affairs,you might think that things could only get only get better. Unfortunately, economic cycles do not work this way and it is my contention that France is about to enter what was known during the gold standard era as a “secondary depression.” The rigid design of the euro system means the whole eurozone is prone to the kind of brutal cyclical adjustments seen in that hard money era of the 19th and early 20th centuries. But having reached the logical limits of its decades long experiment in state-run welfare-capitalism France is far more exposed than even its struggling neighbors. Until quite recently, our working assumption was that a full-blown French debt crisis would occur between 2014 and 2017. In light of the extraordinary malfeasance of the current government we have changed our mind and believe that France is now extremely near to that abyss. Fasten your seat belt in Europe - the world’s last truly Communist country is about to implode.

Now Getting Behind Path to Citizenship: Evangelicals PASTORS LOBBYING POLITICIANS NEXT WEEK By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Apr 9, 2013 9:20 AM CDT (NEWSER) – A somewhat surprising contingent is emerging to support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants: evangelical Christians. Next week, about 300 evangelical leaders will lobby politicians in Washington and urge sweeping changes to US immigration policy, the Wall Street Journal reports. Though many Christians are socially conservative, pastors are increasingly preaching that the Bible supports a path to citizenship—consider, for example, the verse that says, "I was a stranger and you invited me in." A recent survey found that 55% of white evangelicals think immigrants are a burden on the country, down from 66% in 2010. Of course, the attitude shift has caught some churchgoers by surprise. When California pastor Kenton Beshore first started preaching on the subject, "We had people who walked out and whose giving went away," he says. But many members are getting used to the idea, some of them shifting their opinions after volunteering directly with immigrants. Says one, "I started to look at these folks through a prism of humanity and my heart just opened up."
